hi kids today we're going to talk about a little thing called gas lighting what
is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the
problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is
all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the
YouTube community try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional
well-being so the end of that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that
notification about and while you're at it follow me on Instagram because I'm
trying to get to 10,000 followers and I'd appreciate it so gas lighting is a
topic that people always want me to talk about on this channel so what better
time then ricegum releasing the worst apology about the mystery box / mystery brand situation on the entire YouTube platform
then to talk about gaslighting gas lighting is such an important topic I'm
even gonna be studying up on it in this brand new book hashtag not sponsored
so anyways anyways I know I just made a video about this but this is a there's a
whole new thing and it just came out as my wonderful editor zach is editing my
other video with my son and you need to go check that out if you haven't yet
it'll be linked up in the info card as well as at the end screen alright so to
catch you up to speed rice gum and Jake Paul and some other
youtubers are promoting a website called mystery box and it's basically gambling
so why scum has been called out like people like h3h3 as well as PewDiePie
and other big youtubers and he just released his apology so gas lighting is
a technique that abusers use okay this can be mental and emotional abusers they
use it to make you question your own sanity all right so what wife scum is
doing is he's acting like he had no idea what this was so this is terrible too
because it's a lot easier to manipulate children so RiceGum is trying to play
the victim here and he's like hey you can look at anybody or any endorsement
and what he tries to do is give you examples of other youtubers who have
done sponsored deals so he's trying to compare these two
right but if anything with all the scandals that have been going on in the
last year with different companies and all of this rice gum should know better
he would know better okay and he's acting like well my management just came
over here and they just presented this to me
no no no no no no need to clear this up because I don't even think it's a big
deal so the other day I posted a video where I was preparing this website
basically my management just came to me was like yo rice here's this deal about
the Hat for whatever you get paid right and I'll YouTube is like a common thing
like when youtubers work with brands and sponsors videos like I've seen Shane
Dawson just I see so many youtubers do it so he said that he just went on this
website and started doing it and it's an absolute load of crap alright so when
someone is gaslighting you 2 things that you need to do look at the facts okay
and bounce it off somebody else so if you have somebody in your life who's
gaslighting you have a friend or a family member that you could talk to
about this thing like if you watch ricegums video which my son and I reacted to
he knows exactly what that site is doing he knows exactly how that site is
working but the way that rice gum is gaslighting you is he's trying to make
you the viewer believe that he had no idea that this was something even
related to gambling he's just like oh they just gave me this website and then
I just click on this and click on Daddy prizes open up and that's what I thought
it was you can tell because he uses gambling language but he thumbs it down
to a kid's level tipster actually tweeted said first big start of 2019
Jaipur I stopped gambling blah blah blah but at the bottom he said I was offered
a hunted K to do the same thing and almost took the cash but didn't so I
can't go that hard on them so apparently they only offered keep star 1 honey k so
my numbers are higher so imagine how much they offered me right so the money
was on the table and if I wanted the money I just had to open up a few
supreme boxes and shoe boxes and boom I get the money so I'm like yo that sounds
easy enough and here's the other thing too one thing
that I'm very surprised that rice gun forgot to mention when he said how
youtubers are sponsored all the time when youtubers give brand deals almost
every single time they're given a list of bullet points that they need to
discuss all right that is why rice comes video
sounds very similar to Jake Paul's video you can look at this for anything if you
look at popular YouTube sponsors like SeatGeek okay like post baits like honey
all right you will see that the same kind of
language is used because they give you certain talking points to discuss so the
fact that white gum is trying to act like he didn't know is absolutely
ridiculous alright now let's talk about the next
part of this video the next topic about how rice gum is a little kid and refuses
to take responsibility and is basically an adult version of a tattletale
popular youtuber made a video like kind of roasting me I mean like mainly
roasting Jake but like he said some things about me too but I just find it
so funny like I think it's hilarious that like this you know daily thing is
the current you know topic of discussion right now it's like a big deal but it's
just like there's his youtube name reaction time he actually has more
subscribers then maybe the same type of view the same time it feels like three
months ago don't let said anything it wasn't a
problem back then look look look all these guys right here right there deep
and overt screw whatever they're influential got kid fans
same thing opened up boxes this was three weeks ago way before I was doing
it why did no one bring it up to three weeks ago or even talk about these guys
this guy more to the same exact name literally same thing four months ago
he's not even promoting dealing to kids he is a kid dad let's do 17 gambling
it's not a problem alright so this is what we call a deflecting technique
right get the attention off me let me start calling out everybody else
who did this well what about them what about them nobody was calling this
person out this person did it too they did it more so again he's trying to play
the victim and this is something that it really bums me out and why more parents
need to see who their children are watching because these youtubers are
manipulating their young audience and they know exactly what they're doing
they know exactly what they're doing when they're trying to play the victim
and pass it on to these other people don't worry my scum now that we're aware
of it more people are gonna be called out on it but for you for you the viewer
if you're watching this the worst thing you can
when you apologizing to people is to try to point out what everybody else is
doing right that's something that kids do that's something that children do if
you grew up with siblings did you ever pull that thing well-well-well Sally did
this or did you ever get trouble in Mike fucking grade school and you're like
well well Thomas did that like my scum is an adult and we need to get to a
point where we're starting to acknowledge that these young youtubers
are adults they are not great adults because they are manipulating young
children and that's not cool we need to quit accepting that these are just young
people who don't know any better thank you back wasn't even worth doing this
dealing all this controversy was even worth it hang on man you know I do feel
bad I know I kind of faked myself and stuff but I do know I'm somewhat in the
wrong I'm true it's true I'm an asshole like what was I thinking like I can't do
much because I already did it the damage has been done guys already solved
money-hungry side up and it is what it is and there's nothing I can really do
but say sorry and give you these Amazon gift cards so I'm sorry it just wouldn't
happen again Amazon comes ten to twenty dollars just a little giveaway it's the
least I can do after we doubt this you know okay
have a good day guys I'm sorry again I hope you I can forgive
let's have a good here yeah no okay
all right the last thing that I want to touch on that really really is messed up
especially when it comes to abusive relationships is that white gum tries to
make it all better by giving away all of these little Amazon gift cards at the
end of the video all right and he doesn't like this nonchalant thing but
again this was very intentional he knew exactly what he's doing and that is so
reminiscent of an abusive relationship all right those of you who have been in
an abusive relationship feel free to let me know down in the comments below maybe
you had abusive parents right I grew up with an alcoholic mom my alcoholic mom
would run amuck say terrible things to me neglect me ignore me do all of these
things but then she'd buy me toys or she'd buy me video games right some of
you might have been an abusive relationship or the person you know
verbally right abuses you sometimes they might physically abuse you but hey they
took you out to a nice dinner or hey they bought you some flowers all right
this is another technique that scummy people use to try to get the attention
off of their bad behavior and it's absolutely not cool I know I know that
this video sounds like a rant partially because it
is but as always with my videos I really hope anybody watching this video is
taking away abuse techniques that abusers use so you could be more mindful
and aware of it or if you have friends who might be in an abusive relationship
I hope you can take this away from these lessons away from this video and say oh
wow my friend might be in a bad situation oh no my friend might be a
victim of gas lighting maybe I should intervene oh no my friend is saying that
her boyfriend is actually amazing even though he did this last night this
terrible thing last night but he bought her an expensive bracelet
today all right so I'm sorry why scum but the adults in the room we see
exactly what you're doing and we need to bring more awareness of this because
like one of my goals with my channel is to make this platform a little bit
better of a place while also helping you improve your day to day lives
all right anyways that's all I got for this video
